Just had mine installed today:

Tesla Cybertruck OEM Tesla Rock Sliders + Body Armor Skidplate (Cybertruck Terrestrial Armor Package) Released 1760137672366-go


I think it makes the truck look more like the prototype, which I like. I also noticed less road noise. Not sure that's the case, but it seemed like it. And seems to take corners better, and a bit more stable. Not sure if it's more weight lower in the truck, but handling seems to have improved.

The reason they are making a difference between build is likely due to the rear skid plate. Earlier CyberTrucks will need to replace it with a new rear skid plate.

Only one issue. I had a fairing replaced last week for $50 cost. I asked for the parts back, so I could keep with the truck. They forgot to give me the fairings. Hopefully they didn't throw them out. You can see the side panels sticking out the back of the truck bed.

I take that back. They left the fairings attached to the long side panels. All good!

That’s a pretty good point. I have mine scheduled for install on the 28th. If I sold my truck, how easy would it be to rerun to stock and either sell this thing separately or transfer to another dybertruck?

Well got the truck all washed after getting it back yesterday. Then installed the Rival front skid plate and front lower control arm plates. Looks pretty good can’t wait for next weekend trip to test it all out. Pics included, thoughts?

Not at all. Maybe 5 extra minutes to the install
Time to loosen and tighten two bolts of the terrestrial package where the rival skid plate butts up against

Does the skid plate then slide under the terrestrial plate once you listen the 2 bolts?

Package is back in stock, still blocked for the first NFS trucks. I contacted them asking them to correct it. Anyone else in my boat, please do so too!

https://www.tesla.com/contactus

Then use these options:

After the 2 drop down boxes, it’ll give you some useless links then ask if you need more help. Say yes to that then you can type a message. I said this, feel free to copy/paste:

I have a Non-Foundation Series Cybertruck built before 12/10/24. The terrestrial armor package is saying it isn’t compatible with the vehicles in my account. I can only speculate it simply wasn’t “unlocked” on your end for the older Non-Foundation Series trucks. Is that something you can have corrected so I can order?

Go a response from Tesla and I should be able to order their Terrestrial Armor but it still won’t let me. I’ll contact service to see if I can schedule it that way.
